In short: DisapointedIn full: Got there early with no problems,shuttle buses fine. Should have been on the start line as requested with loads of time to spare but an hour queue for the porta-loo put paid to that!! I got to the green zone at 9.30 and if some kind soul hadn't helped me and a few others under the barrier I think we'd have been forced to go to the back. The race itself I didn't enjoy,spent the whole time having to concentrate totally on keeping moving safely without being tripped etc while negotiating people who were slower or who had stopped.I reckon the constant weaving in and out of people probably put an extra 10 mins on my time!! Many thanks by the way to the person who grabbed my arm and stopped me falling when a girl in front dropped something and bent down without warning !!My only other gripe is with the traffic marshalling on leaving. We joined the queue from the sea front car park at 2.50pm ,a policeman told us to join the queue on the coastal road as we were from out of town. We never saw any police after that? We sat in the queue for over an hour hardly moving before we reached the first roundabout where two queues met and there was no police directing the traffic? This was the same all the way out when obviously whats required was some traffic mamagment to try and keep it moving ? It took us 5 hours to get home ,a journey that only took 2 in the morning? Sadley this will probably put me off doing it again? Date of review: October 2, 2006
